## Mark II Artist's Viewfinder Description
Artist's Viewfinder assists the filmmaker or still photographer in exploring different places and angles to find the optimal placement for the camera, and to second-guess compositions. By simulating real camera and lens combinations it allows you to visualize what you are going to shoot without actually setting up the camera. And it's also a great tool to train yourself to see.

Handles Like Your Camera

Exposure compensation. Auto-focus lock. AF confirmation beep. A Quick Control Screen for accessing frequently needed functions. Smart Function Keys. Shutter release via the Volume buttons. We designed the Mark II so that you could feel at home the moment you start working with it. And because it also saves high resolution photos, you can even use it as a regular camera.

Visualize the Grand Landscape

Paired with a 0.5x-class super-wide converter lens*, the Mark II becomes an indispensable tool for landscape and architecture photographers. The combination can simulate super-wide lenses up to around 16mm on the full-frame 35mm format. Or you can use it to compose super-wide stitched images. The Mark II even removes distortion present in the wide converter lens — in real time.

When There's No Need for Color

In black & white mode Artist's Viewfinder shows just the luminance information of the scene, making it easier to explore tonal structures and simulate what a black & white photograph will look like. Taking it a step further, the optional dark and neutral toolbar theme ensures that colors from the app doesn't interfere with your composition.

Unprecedented Simulation Flexibility

The Mark II leverages our extensive Viewfinder Camera Database, containing more than 800 still and motion picture cameras, 180 medium/large format backs and countless lenses — incorporating real lens data for ALPA, Hartblei, Hasselblad, Leica, Rodenstock, Schneider and Zeiss glass. And you can define your own cameras and lenses when you need something special for the job.

Does What Optical Viewfinders Can't Even Dream Of

Artist's Viewfinder stores location and simulation metadata with the pictures, allowing you to evaluate results of a location scout later on your computer. Or you can send the information off to the rest of the crew or to a rental house, right from the app. It also records a standard GPX format track log, alleviating the need for a separate logging device.

## Mark II Artist's Viewfinder Reviews in United States

### ***** "Worth the price!"
While it may seem expensive, this is a fantastic way to scout/preview images. It keeps getting better thru great updates and enhancements. Whether for film or digital, highly recommended.
-- Zonan, 2025-02-02

### ***** "Great App"
Very convenient having a tool to compose future shots with you all the time.   

GPS feature makes it great to be able to go back and find those pic opportunities later.
-- Calvin Tannis, 2024-10-11

### ***** "Amazing, work horse app"
I’ve used this app for years now and love it. So many features were framed using this app!
-- AJYoungDP, 2024-01-08

### ***** "Great time saving app"
this app allows instant previsualization before trying lenses and setting up camera
-- DanSok10150, 2023-01-18

### ***** "Fantastic!"
This app just does exactly what I need to to. So easy to use, so customizable, so worth every penny!! You will not regret getting this app!!!
-- hdm5050, 2022-07-31

### ***** "Simply Invaluable!"
This a a must for any serious photographer. It does everything it claims and more. When I’m in the field, I use it many times per day. In addition to previsulization, it functions as a notebook for scouting potential shots. The gps function enables return to the precise location.  I always use it to locate and set my initial tripod position. 
The map function could be enhanced with the addition of a direction indicator. Easier access to the time/date data would also be an improvement.
-- A disgruntled professor, 2021-12-05

### ***** "Fotographer"
Amazing app , very helpful
-- fotographer-q, 2021-10-22

### ***** "Indispensable"
A highly customizable app that helps me select equipment and lenses before setting up the camera. Also useful when scouting locations to preplan shots.
-- Soarfm, 2021-01-17

### ****- "Z-Cam E2-F6 is missing"
This app is good but unfortunately don’t have any Z-cam flagship in its virtual camera setting. I hope they add this soon. Many filmmakers are using this cinema camera now.
-- ansanchez, 2020-11-28

### ***** "Indispensable tool"
Absolutely amazing way to set up shots. I have multiple cameras loaded with all their respective lenses. One quick location picture and I can see all the possible framings.
-- notontv, 2020-11-04

### ***** "Saves time and saves film"
I shoot several formats of film with a variety of equipment and often the setup time is a consideration. I have relied on this app to help me check the composition With various lenses in these formats for years and it has saved me a lot of time and even wasted film. In regards to the latter, if I were to go through the motions of setting up something like my 8x10 view camera, I might be inclined to expose a couple of sheets of film even though the image may not be as refined as I want. By using this app, I can frame, capture and study the composition well before ever exposing the film.
-- Pro-weather-user, 2020-10-13

### ***** "Worth every penny"
At first I balked at the $30 price. But it seemed to do exactly what I needed and the other reviews were good so I bought it. I am extremely impressed. 

I use it to scout for shooting locations. I can see what different cameras look like with different lenses. It captures gps data so I can find my way back carrying just the gear I need.
-- 69bob6969, 2019-11-19

### ***** "Worth the price!"
While it may seem expensive, this is a fantastic way to scout/preview images. It keeps getting better thru great updates and enhancements. Whether for film or digital, highly recommended.
-- Zonan, 2019-09-18

### ***** "Fantastic app."
Highly recommend it.
-- 010101011, 2019-01-23

### ***** "Great tool"
Use it for reference framing continuously, clients love it
-- UH-HU-YEAH, 2018-11-10

### ***** "Indispensable"
If you’re a tripod shooter with large and heavy cameras or just want to find the right view, this is a great tool and matches virtually any format and provides an endless string of lens sizes. Where was this 30 years ago when I was lugging my Arca Swiss and Schneider 400 mm lens across the terrain?!
-- 1stBuilder, 2018-06-17

### ***** "Love this app"
This app is very useful, love it
-- JohnF58892, 2017-05-29

### ****- "Flip option"
Handy app. It would also be useful to be able to flip the view horizontally and upside down, especially when using large and medium format finders.
-- Light Stevo, 2017-02-09

### *---- "Limited and expensive"
This app will not allow me to view anything wider than a 35 mm. Seeing that I purchased this app to scope out what 24mm wide shots would look like for a location scouting it was useless. My battery also drained from 30% to dead in 20 minutes of using on a new iPhone 6s Plus that has not had that problem with other apps. Would like a refund
-- RettnLA, 2016-12-07

### ***** "Indispensable  Tool"
I am no professional photographer, although I strive to attain professional results. This app is so valuable to me when I'm scouting to help decide which focal length lenses I'll need. 

I can't live without this.
-- mikeku, 2015-10-12
